This post is off-topic as this joke. Corporate boss, tea party member and union member are given 12 cookies. The boss takes 11 and says, "Watch out that union thug is after your cookie."

The old fixed pie fallacy will never die. A free economy grows by what we each contribute to it. Only a centrally controlled economy is a pie sliced up by daddy, literally leading to a fight for table scraps (if they exist).
Okay change the cookies to percentages of an expanding and contracting pie. I enjoyed Ayn Rand's novels but they are as much fantasy as Lord of the Rings.
